The England Thread

[thinktank]

I'd have Lallana in there (when fit) with one of Henderson or Dier.

Not his bag. Much more effective off the flanks.

Rather see Stones and Winks there than the turgidity of Hendo and Dier.

Dier needs to wake up.

I think he did

 

[nightgoat]

Eric!!!!

 

[markiespurs]

Nice one Eric

 

[tooey]

Haha and Dier finishes like a boss!

 

[gushayes11]

Dier's woken up.

 

[ardiles]

Dier!!

 

[Spurger King]

Eric!

 

[King of Otters]

Drinkwater and Livermore

Livermore isn't good enough, but Drinkwater is better technically than Dier and Henderson for me.

 

[mark87]

Hopefully that gives Dier a bit of confidence in his play.

 

[Spriggan]

Nice one Eric.

England's problems go far beyond Southgate IMO.

I agree he's not the right choice though.

Who else would take the job, International management has no pull to take a serious candidate.

Haha and there he goes and scores.a beauty.

The way England are playing, if Barkley recovers in time, he might have a good chance of getting a starting slot.

With respect, Tank, centre midfield is more Lallana's bag than it is Stone's, who I don't think has ever played there in his life.

It will probably end up being someone like Alan Pardew.

I hear Sven might be available.

Southgate is utterly clueless

 

[nightgoat]

So many thick footballers in this team, with Rashford and Ox among the thickest.

Also, is there a more technically limited midfield pairing than Henderson and Dier?

Henderson and Drinkwater. Henderson and Livermore. Henderson and... You get the idea.

Southgate is utterly clueless

He's a yes man, which is why the FA gave him the job in the first place
